ClinHallu - Knowledge Recall Hallucination: leaderboard

The knowledge recall hallucination rate on ClinHallu (2026): how often a model recalls wrong medical knowledge even when given the correct visual findings, in percent; lower is better. ClinHallu (2026) pairs medical VQA items from four datasets with validated reasoning traces and averages over the four datasets.

Metric: Knowledge recall hallucination rate (%): share of items whose knowledge stage, generated after the reference visual stage is supplied, the judge marks as hallucinated, macro-averaged over the ClinHallu test items of VQA-RAD, PathVQA, MedFrameQA and MedXpertQA (medical VQA with validated reference traces of visual recognition, knowledge recall and reasoning integration); the model writes a structured trace and answer (temperature 0.7) and a Qwen3.5-27B judge grades them (temperature 0.01); lower is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Estimated already saturated. 11 models tracked.
